  • So if I understand it correctly, there is literally nothing stopping anyone in the US to start such a party and participate. The only thing is that the party might not accumulate enough votes to be of relevance. It might be worth a shot if there is sufficient momentum (which currently there seems to be from my arm chair point of view).

  • Tesla was ahead 10-15 years, sure. But they mostly lost that lead. Yes, their software is great, but at the same time Tesla doesn't seem to be able to do basic car features right. For instance, it doesn't have a rain sensor and relies on the front facing camera to detect rain. I can tell you from experience that it doesn't work as well as a sensor. It's even worse when it detects rain, while it is completely dry. But you cannot turn the wipers off, because then you won't be able to use cruise control anymore. Cruise control, which by the way (non FSD) is shit in comparison to the competition.

    The tablet might be a couple years ahead of the competition. The value they bring in bang for buck with a great feature package is also greatly competitive. But the car is behind when it comes to just normal car things. I have buttons on my steering wheel as indicators for fuck sake, a problem we already fixed when we were still prosecuting Nazis.

  • To be honest, I think we are well passed that scenario. Even if Putin dies today, his puppets in Russia will grab for power. Meanwhile, they still own the president of the US. They know they have the support needed to win in Ukraine, they will use it to build trust with the citizens of Russia and show strength. Even better, the US will be weakened in supporting Russia, but that's not really a bad scenario for Russia either.

  • until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

    They are literally shooting every Russian they spot on their soil, how is that not making a genuine effort toward peace?

  • I don't disagree, but what's up with climate? Of all the things I change during a drive, climate is probably the least used one. IMO, if the car has a decent HVAC system, it should be set and forget (less the defroster and A/C max in summer).

    It might be that manufacturers see in their data that most people use it set and forget nowadays anyways, which made the cost cutting decision easier.

  • Question: do we attribute Russia's actions to terrorism? I would wager yes, as it can easily be labeled as a terrorist state at this point. In that case, I think we can give them lots of credit, right?

  • Concludes that it works, but it's not quite there yet. And looking at other replies here, it's even more challenging if you want to play competitive multiplayer games that use anti cheat software. Which are games I still enjoy to play.

  • Great article and also outlines why I'm not switching today. I already have to deal with plenty of shit during my work hours, gaming is a way for me to relax and wind down. I don't want to think or deal with a sub optimal gaming experience, to then have to bug fix in my spare time.

    You can say all the negative stuff you want about Windows, but it does run games well. The moment I can expect to have the same experience on Linux, I will switch, it's that simple.

  • Not sure if we can really blame Steve Jobs for this though, he wasn't around when things turned to shit. The iPhone he introduced was merely a phone, web browser, email and music player.

    I think it's fair if we blame Tim Apple for this and the other big tech CEO's of the recent past.

  • As a Model 3 (2024) driver, I fully agree! Meanwhile I finally nailed down a little over half the instances where it might phantom brake, so I'm more prepared. A common theme is cars moving within their lane while driving next to them. Even if they don't cross the line into my lane, the car will still brake abruptly.

    Why bother having cruise control if you cannot use it comfortably and always have to rest your foot above the accelerator anyways?

    This is then only regarding phantom braking. Another dangerous thing is the automatic speed adjustment of the cruise control. I have this set to "off", but the car seems to completely ignore that setting. It happened multiple times that the car changed set speed, both up and down. Imagine driving 130 on cruise and the car sees a sign that says "90 when asphalt is wet" but it's dry. The car thinks it's 90 and slams the brakes.

    All I want is just dumb cruise control for cruising and traffic aware cruise control in traffic jams, is that too much to ask?

  • Not sure how to effectively do that, but I reckon it would be no different than the cookie mess today. Which unfortunately is, hardly ever. The big GDPR related fines can still apply. Let's say a data set is leaked that includes tracking data that was not necessary for the service to have, then the company can receive a hefty fine. As long as the fine is larger than the reward, it might not be worth it for the company to track you anymore.
